So how hot should one of these anarchy motors get?

I just got my rig back together and ran it in my shop/thru a full battery pack. How hot should one of these motors get? Mine was too hot to touch.

Is that normal?

I wouldnt run my motors to hot to touch if I wanted them to last. I try and stay less than 140 and that is touchable for a few seconds.Just my .02...

mike i remember reading in the set-up for motor & gears ratios, that you set the gearing according to how hot the motors get. might have the gears too high/low....

Like Devlin said you should be able to hold a finger on it a couple seconds. A motor should not be run more than 170 degrees or it could cause damage. 160 degrees is considered the sweet spot for racing with the most horsepower without melting the motor. What pinion were you running with that 66t spur? Was it possibly undergeared and lugging?
